Out of all the characters in “The Scottish Play”, the one that stands out the most is Lady Macbeth. She plays a very intense role in the play. She begins the play as a very pernicious character with no remorse. Then, as the acts go on, events lead up to a guilty conscience and the taking of her life.
Lady Macbeth begins as an obvious inhumane person. In Act 1, Lady Macbeth knows that her husband, Macbeth must kill the King, Duncan, to become the King of Scotland. Instead of discouraging her husband from the deed, she instigates it. In Act 2, she drugs the guards without a second thought, which makes her an accomplice to the murder of the King. Throughout most of the play she “comforts” her husband into thinking murder is okay and that
